Please make this consistent with all other ``dump on signal'' daemons,
which typeically dump in /var/tmp.   Ones that come to mind are
named/bind and gated, I am sure there are others.

/var/log is not a DUMP directory.  It should not be used for dumps
of program internal data.  

Or perhaps for security reasons it is time to consider a mode 700
/var/dump directory?  Also perhaps time to add a paths.h entry for
this?
